Maintaining Honors Forum Status
All students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25 throughout their career at BHS and they must earn a minimum of a "C" average in each course (whether it be an honors course or not) throughout their academic career at BHS.
Probation
If a student fails to maintain a 3.25 GPA or earns lower than a "C" in any course during any semester, he or she will be placed on academic probation for the remainder of his or her career at BHS.
Removal
A second instance of a drop in GPA, earning lower than a "C", or any combination of the two, will result in removal from the program.
*Students can also be removed for disciplinary or any conduct deemed imappropriate for an Honors Forum student. |
